Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: Sugar Loaf & Corcovado. At the designated time, get ready to meet your Guide for a private exploration in Rio and its main landmarks:

The Corcovado lookout is set over 2,300 feet above sea level, at the very top of the mountain with the same name. From there, visitors can see nearly the entire city of Rio de Janeiro. Also located at this world-famous tourist site, is the “Cristo Redentor” statue (Christ the Redeemer), which stands 38 meters high. We shall access the top of the mountain by train, departing from the Cosme Velho station. The trip from the bottom to the top takes approximately 30 minutes crossing the Tijuca Forest. The Corcovado-Mountain is Rio’s world-famous landmark. Once you are at Corcovado, there is nothing more to say, just appreciate. It is one of the most impressive belvederes in town, with a privileged view of all Rio de Janeiro, the heart-shaped Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, the Jockey Club, Copacabana, Ipanema, and Leblon Beaches and much more. Being there is all about sensations. 

Your day of exploration will continue with a visit the iconic Sugar Loaf with a beautiful view of the city at sunset. The Sugar Loaf is not all about landscapes but THE landscape. The sunset at Sugar Loaf is breathtaking and unmissable. Sugar Loaf is also one the most desirable places for every carioca and it is the venue of a famous party organized in the Summer named Noites Cariocas (Cariocas Nights) that brings more than 100 thousand participants in 3 months during the weekends. 

Once we reach Urca District we check in at the cable car station where you will be taken to Urca Mountain (mid-way station) with its gardens and lookout points. Then, the second part of the ride will take you to the peak of the Sugar Loaf Mountain, 1300 ft. above sea level. Sugar Loaf is located in a neighborhood called Urca at the entrance of Guanabara Bay. It is a group of two mountains, one called Urca Mountain and the other called Sugar Loaf. The original cable cars were inaugurated in 1912. In 1972, the construction of a new aerial path was concluded within new standards and using modern technology. We recommend finishing your tour with a caipirinha drink, while enjoying the beautiful sunset in Rio! Return to the hotel after the tour.
